True. The new debian-installer is being developed as we speak. Please 
feel free to visit http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and 
help test/develop the new installer.

Or create official testing install media:
  http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#which

Or download unofficial installation media:
  http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/#testing

Or download unofficial net-install CDs:
  http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/

stated that the next release /will/ use the new installer.
